To Demand
Bestowal

What do we
have to do, in our internal environment, in order to reach mutual guarantee
between us?

We must
demand the force of bestowal. We need to hear as much as possible, from friends, about the greatness of bestowal and
to demand its force. There is a good state before us, a critical opportunity,
in which all that is lately happening in the world and in the country, the
problems, the economics and the security, all that is happening to us together
as an inner group, is drained into that same point that we must press, harder
and harder, and demand the force of bestowal, to direct everything in the right
direction in order that there will be correct intentions for us.

Daily Kabbalah Definition

In
our world there are always two opposites that are found in two or more bodies
when these bodies get closer, including their desires and thoughts, and then
one feels two opposites in one matter. And this is the problem of removing the
foreskin that the created being and the Creator have, and between them there
exists a cloud, fog, darkness, something that the created being must hide.

The
problem is that in order for us to progress, we must discover the greatness of
the Upper. But the Upper will not be felt by us as good, but the opposite, as a
bestower, as loving, and I will not have any profit from it. Since, of course,
if the Upper is great in my eyes, then I will run to idol worship since He is
great. And thus I will benefit in security and all of His attributes. It is
clear that to belong to the Great is good, in the event that I run to Him so as
to be next to Him in the attribute of bestowal , love of others, to approach
Him in the attributes that are similar to him, to reach equivalence of form and
not because I receive from Him some benefit. Thus, there is the matter of
removing the foreskin, that I remove the cloud, the fog, and only to the extent
that I can remove from myself, my desire to receive.

Then
that is called that I am in touch with the Upper, contact that turns into not
just contact of receiver and giver but contact of two bestowers, one to the
other. Thus the first contact between the created being and the Creator is
called circumcision. And then we begin to remove the foreskin and that happens
at each and every degree. One must understand who is the Upper and who is the
lower here, who exactly needs to remove from himself, not the desire to receive
and not what covers the desire to receive, which is the force of concealment,
but which discovery he needs to receive, the attribute of bestowal and the
faith, which are one and its opposite. Then to the extent that the created
being holds within it two opposite attributes in one matter, then he approaches
the Creator.
